Every winget, Scoop and Chocolatey package
Thousands of packages from three managers in one search. GetBox sets the managers up itself on first launch.
Updates and rollback
The Updates tab lists what is outdated — update one or all, and roll a bad update back in one click.
Profiles and recommendations
One-click sets (Gaming Rig, Dev Starter, Essentials…), a “For you” feed, “Often installed together” and “Alternatives”.
Install queue
Install several programs at once with progress, cancel, retry and readable errors.
Make it yours
Five themes including Windows 11 with Mica, a custom accent color, 90–125 % scale and four list views.
Interface
Home, catalog, details, queue, updates and five themes.
Safe by default
A new program usually means hunting for the site, checking it isn’t a fake and unticking extras. GetBox does that for you.
Official sources
Installer links and checksums come from winget manifests, not random mirrors.
Verified before it runs
HTTPS only, and the SHA256 must match — otherwise nothing runs and the program is installed through winget instead.
Silent installs
No “Next → Next” wizards and no bundled “offers”.
Keeps things current
Checks for updates to your programs and to itself: new GetBox versions download in the background and are verified by SHA256.
Four sources
The GetBox catalog plus winget, Scoop and Chocolatey — in one search.

GetBox обновляется сам
- Новая версия ищется на GitHub при запуске и раз в 6 часов, скачивается в фоне и сверяется по SHA256 с файлом из релиза.
- В заголовке окна появляется кнопка «Обновить до X»: перезапустить сейчас или обновиться при выходе.
- После обновления — экран «Что нового» с переходом к новым возможностям; повторно открывается из настроек.
- Настройки → GetBox: версия, проверка вручную, фоновая загрузка, канал «Стабильный» / «Бета».
Обновления программ
- Новая вкладка «Обновления»: что можно обновить через winget, Scoop и Chocolatey, с кнопками «Обновить» и «Обновить все». Обновления программ из каталога показываются под их названием и иконкой.
- История обновлений по дням. Успешное обновление можно откатить до предыдущей версии:
winget install --version,scoop reset app@версияилиchoco install --version --allow-downgrade. - Проверка при запуске и раз в 6 часов; по желанию обновления ставятся в фоне без вопросов. Количество доступных обновлений видно на вкладке.
- Обновления и откаты идут через общую очередь установок с прогрессом и отменой.
Внешний вид
- Пять тем в «Расширенных → Внешний вид»: Классика, Светлая, OLED, Высокий контраст и Windows 11. На Windows 11 22H2+ тема Windows 11 включает системный фон Mica, на других системах рисует полупрозрачную подложку.
- Свой акцентный цвет (7 готовых или любой через палитру); цвет текста на кнопках подбирается по яркости акцента.
- Масштаб интерфейса: 90 / 100 / 110 / 125 %.
- Четыре вида списков: карточки, список с описанием, компактная таблица и плитки. Переключатель стоит над каждым списком, выбор запоминается.
- Значения внешнего вида проверяются в main-процессе: повреждённые настройки не ломают интерфейс.
From 1.3.0 on, GetBox updates itself. Coming from 1.2.x, switch once by hand — replace the old exe with the new one; settings are kept. If Windows SmartScreen says “Windows protected your PC”, click “More info” → “Run anyway”.

FAQ
Is it safe? Where do programs come from?
Catalog programs are downloaded from the publishers’ direct links listed in the official winget index — the same source winget install uses. GetBox downloads over HTTPS only and checks the SHA256 from the manifest before running the installer. Packages from “All packages” are installed by winget, Scoop and Chocolatey with their own checks.
How do I verify the download?
Each release ships a .sha256 file next to the exe, and the current version’s hash is shown in the Download section above. Compare it with the PowerShell output — they must match exactly.
Get-FileHash .\GetBox-<version>-portable.exe -Algorithm SHA256Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. What now?
Click “More info” → “Run anyway”. SmartScreen warns about new apps without a paid code-signing certificate; you can verify the file with its checksum.
Do I need administrator rights?
No. Don’t run GetBox elevated all the time — the Scoop installer refuses to work in an elevated session. Individual installers ask for UAC when they need it; Chocolatey asks once when you enable it.
How does GetBox update itself?
From 1.3.0 on, automatically: the new version downloads in the background and an “Update to X” button appears in the title bar. Moving from 1.2.x to 1.3.0 is a one-time manual step — replace the old exe with the new one; settings and favorites are kept.
What about winget on older Windows 10?
winget ships with App Installer. On older Windows 10 builds, update App Installer from the Microsoft Store. The catalog and Scoop work without winget.
Where is data stored and how do I uninstall?
Everything is in %LOCALAPPDATA%\GetBox\: isolated Scoop and Chocolatey, caches, settings and update history. To remove GetBox, close it and delete the exe and that folder. Programs you installed stay; remove them in Settings → Apps as usual.
